Description
Watering Barn is a beautifully presented barn conversion in a delightful rural location, but within easy access of Snape, Aldeburgh and the Heritage Coast.  The conversion of this impressive 17th Century barn was undertaken by the current vendor during 2018/2019, creating a new home of the highest of standards for his family.  The accommodation extends to nearly 3,750 square feet (348 sqm) in all, and comprises a double height entrance hall, that is overlooked by the galleried landing and this leads through to an open plan kitchen/breakfast room and sitting room arrangement that forms the central core of the barn.  Leading from these areas is the separate dining room and snug/bedroom four.  An adjoining single storage range was also converted, and this offers an annexe kitchen (or boot/utility room), sitting room and bedroom with en-suite shower room.  With its own separate entrance this area could also be used by a dependent relative, or as a B&B/holiday let if required.    On the first floor there is the aforementioned galleried landing that overlooks the entrance hall, together with the impressive principal bedroom suite with dressing area and en-suite bathroom, as well as two further double bedrooms that both benefit from en-suite shower rooms.

Outside the immediate gardens and grounds have been landscaped to an equivalently high standard, which includes a spa swimming pool.  There is also a generous shingle driveway and a games room/studio with office/gym above.  Adjacent to the property on the other side of the road is the meadow, which extends to nearly 3.5 acres (1.41 hectares).  In all, Watering Barn extends to just over 4 acres (1.64 hectares).  The vendor advises that many of the fixtures and fittings, including some of the chattels and the spa swimming pool, are available to purchase by separate negotiation.
